Project Spotlight: Beautiful Wood Staining & Interior Painting for the Blood Family’s Cascade Cabin Retreat

January 1, 2024

The Blood family recently bought a cabin in Cascade, Idaho, with dreams of transforming it into a family retreat for generations to come. They reached out to Spray ’n Coat Painting to help bring that vision to life, looking for quality finishes that would capture the cabin’s natural warmth and durability. As part of a larger renovation effort, we focused on creating a lasting, polished look for the cabin’s wood surfaces and interiors to perfectly complement the other work going on.

Here’s What We Did:

We took great care with each step of this project to make sure the finishes would not only look stunning but also stand up to years of use as a cherished family getaway:

Wood Prefinishing: With 4,400 square feet of tongue-and-groove pine delivered to our shop, we prepped, sanded, stained, and sealed each piece, ensuring every baseboard, casing, and door was ready for installation with a rich, beautiful finish.
Final Interior Painting: Once the renovation was nearly complete, we primed and painted the walls, ceilings, and closets, adding the finishing coat after other contractor work was done to ensure a fresh, flawless look.
Detailed Touch-Ups: After the baseboards and casings were installed, we came in for final touch-ups, making sure each detail was in perfect condition.
Clear Coat Sealing: For the cabin’s interior gable ends, we applied a clear coat that protects the wood and brings out its natural beauty, setting a warm, rustic tone throughout the cabin.

Project Benefits & Impact:

The Blood family now has a beautifully finished retreat where they can unwind and make memories together. Our work on the wood surfaces and interior paint has created a cozy, inviting feel that will welcome them each time they visit. The durable finishes ensure this family retreat will stay beautiful and protected for years, ready for all the gatherings, celebrations, and quiet getaways they envision.

Project Spotlight: Sealing the Deal at the Caldwell Airport Terminal

May 30, 2025

At Spray ’n Coat Painting, we often get called in to finish what others couldn’t quite get right—and that was the case with this 2,000 sq. ft. concrete floor coating project at the Caldwell Airport terminal. The building, now home to a private charter company, needed a durable and clean finish to make the space more welcoming for employees and travelers. Project Background This terminal originally had carpet in several areas, and after it was removed, thick glue residue was left behind across the concrete floors. Our customer had hired another contractor to handle the coating work, but unfortunately, they lacked the necessary equipment and experience for the job. That’s when we stepped in to get things done right. Our Process To give the customer the clean, sealed finish he was hoping for, our crew tackled the job in several key steps: Joint Filler Replacement: We started by removing the old joint filler and refilling the seams. Heavy Grinding & Surface Prep: Using professional grinding equipment, we stripped away all glue residue and opened up the pores of the concrete to ensure a strong bond. Matte Polyurethane Coating: We applied a commercial-grade polyurethane sealer in a matte finish. This not only improved the look of the space but also provided a stain-resistant, slip-resistant surface that can stand up to heavy foot traffic. Why It Matters For a commercial space like this—where first impressions matter and safety is non-negotiable—the right prep and coating system makes all the difference. The finished floor is now sealed, low-maintenance, and ready to take on day-to-day traffic from both staff and customers.

Kitchen Island Cabinet Painting: Creating a Standout Statement with Dried Thyme

May 12, 2025

Kitchen Island Cabinet Painting: Creating a Standout Statement with Dried Thyme Not every kitchen upgrade requires a full remodel. Sometimes, one bold, well-executed change can make the biggest impact. That was the case with this recent kitchen island makeover, where our customer wanted one thing: to make their island the statement piece of the space. They chose Dried Thyme by Sherwin-Williams—a soft, earthy green that brings both character and calm to a room. We used our cabinet painting process to deliver a durable, factory-grade finish that gave their island a whole new identity. Here’s how it came together—and why cabinet painting is one of the smartest updates you can make in your kitchen. Why the Island? Why Dried Thyme? This homeowner wasn’t trying to overhaul their entire kitchen. Their layout worked well, the surrounding white cabinetry was in great shape, and their countertops already brought a clean, timeless look. But the island felt flat. It blended in too much—and they wanted something with a little more presence. Enter Dried Thyme (SW 6186) . This sage-toned green shifts beautifully with the light throughout the day, creating a cozy yet elevated look. It paired perfectly with their existing white perimeter cabinets, quartz counters, and the updated matte black hardware. Looking for more island color inspiration? Sherwin-Williams has a great visualizer tool for testing colors in real spaces.
